Finally finished the rebuild after months of collecting parts one sale at a time.

Went from air to an AIO and the noise difference at load is night and day.

Maybe this has been discussed before, but I could not find anything recent.

1440p 165Hz is the sweet spot, agree completely.

My NVMe is five years old at 89% health — they last longer than people fear.

Good point, I had not thought of it that way.
